THE purpose of this arresting system, which was demonstrated with the aid of a Supermarine Scimitar equipped with conventional naval deck-landing hook at this year's Farnborough Air Show, is to prevent accidental over-run of aircraft. Design and development has been carried out by the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Bedford, while the energy absorption units for the installation have been designed and supplied by the Aviation Division of the Dunlop Rubber Company, working in close collaboration with the Establishment.
